The amazing \u201d\u02dcInfinity Display\u2019 <\/strong><\/h4>\nThe S8\u2019s headline feature is the \u201d\u02dcInfinity Display\u2019, an expansive screen that wraps around both sides of the device and has practically no bezels at the top of bottom.<\/p>\n
Both models have the Infinity Display, hence Samsung dropping the Edge branding, although the S8 has a 5.8\u201d\u009d screen while the S8+ has a huge 6.2\u201d\u009d screen.<\/p>\n
The Infinity Display looks nothing short of fantastic, displaying content in vivid clarity and giving the S8 a truly unique look. Whip this out at a party and you\u2019re bound to draw a few curious admirers!<\/p>\n
To reduce bezel space, Samsung have reduced the size of pretty much every individual component in the device. They also had to bid farewell to a Samsung design staple…<\/p>\n
\nBye bye, home button<\/strong><\/h4>\nYep, the physical home button is a goner.<\/p>\n
Instead, the Galaxy S8 features a pressure sensitive area at the bottom of the screen, known as the Invisible Home Button, which can be used in a similar way. The fingerprint scanner has been moved to the back of device a la <\/em>the Huawei P9, although you may not need to use it…<\/p>\n
\nEye security <\/strong><\/h4>\nThe Galaxy S8 boasts an iris scanner which lets you unlock the device and confirm transactions using your \u201d\u02dceyeprint\u2019, a process Samsung described as \u201cthe most advanced form of security out there\u201d\u009d. It also has facial recognition, although that somehow doesn\u2019t seem as cool as an iris scanner.<\/p>\n
\nThe cameras<\/strong><\/h4>\nAs you might expect, the Samsung Galaxy S8 has both a rear and a front-facing camera.<\/p>\n
However, both have received something of a boost from last year\u2019s model. The 12MP rear-facing camera now has a dual pixel sensor and a multi-frame processor, which can combine multiple images to form the best possible photo.<\/p>\n
The front-facing camera, meanwhile, has been boosted to 8MP and has face-detecting autofocus to take your selfie game to the next level.<\/p>\n
\nThe battery<\/strong><\/h4>\nSmartphone manufacturers typically get through the battery part of their presentations as quickly as possible. After the Note 7 disaster, though, Samsung were naturally keen to promote the extensive 8 point battery check they\u2019ve implemented for all their devices.<\/p>\n
The S8 and S8+ have slightly different batteries: 3000mAh and 3500mAh respectively. Both should, hopefully, hit the market without any of the Note 7\u2019s shocking issues.<\/p>\n
\nColours (or a lack of them) <\/strong><\/h4>\nJust weeks after Apple unveiled the surprisingly colourful red iPhone 7, Samsung have taken things back to basics. The S8 is available in three colours: Midnight Black, Arctic Silver and Orchid Gray. Simple, classy and stylish (although you can always put a garish case on if you want).<\/p>\n
\nBixby<\/strong><\/h4>\nAnother personal assistant is probably low on people\u2019s smartphone wishlists, but Samsung\u2019s first effort looks genuinely impressive. Described as a \u201cnew type of interface that learns, evolves and adapts to you\u201d\u009d, Bixby is able to understand context; if you ask it to \u201d\u02dcsend this to my mum\u2019, it\u2019ll take whatever you have on screen and email it to your mum. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also able to \u201d\u02dcsee\u2019 stuff using your camera. If you point your phone at a landmark, Bixby will give you more information. It\u2019s also able to translate signs in a foreign language and give you more info on restaurants, shops and so on.<\/p>\n
\nWhen will the Samsung Galaxy S8 be released? <\/strong><\/h4>\nThe Samsung Galaxy S8 officially hits shelves on the 28th<\/sup> April. However, you\u2019ll receive it a week earlier (21st<\/sup> April) if you pre-order!<\/p>\n
\nHow much will the Samsung Galaxy S8 cost? <\/strong><\/h4>\nAmazing technology isn\u2019t cheap, so it\u2019s no surprise that the S8 has a pretty steep price tag. The standard model will set you back \u00a3689, while the S8+ will cost \u00a3779.<\/p>\n
Basically, it won\u2019t be cheap even if you sign up to a 24 month contract. We can help you upgrade though: sell your mobile phone<\/a> with musicMagpie today and we\u2019ll pay you on the same day it arrives!<\/p>\n
\nDeX<\/strong><\/h4>\nSamsung also used the event to launch DeX, a dock that can connect the S8 to a monitor, keyboard and mouse to provide a full desktop experience.<\/p>\n
It sounds perfect for people who prefer to do their work on a big screen rather than their smartphone, although Samsung have yet to announce a release date or any pricing. It may be included with certain S8 bundles though.<\/p>\n
